Bookmarks for your terminal

Save it once. Find it forever.

Tilde bookmarks a whole terminal page, a single command, a file, or a folder. Keep each one global, or scoped to the folder you were in. Works with Ghostty, iTerm, Terminal, and Windows Terminal.

what you can save

Four kinds of bookmark.

The things you keep hunting for, kept one keystroke away.

PAGE

A whole page

The full terminal page, commands and their output, saved and replayable.

CMD

A command

That long flag-heavy command you always retype. Open it to paste it back.

tilde save command
FILE

A file

A config or note you open constantly. Reveal it anywhere in Finder or Explorer.

DIR

A folder

A project root you jump between. Bookmark it once and open it in a click.

global, or just here

Scoped to where you work.

Every bookmark is tied to the folder you saved it in. Add --global to carry it everywhere.
